I found the problem. One endcap was burned up and the prong on the end of the vho was cracked. Not sure how it happened , but it s fixed now. That means I tackeled hair algae and lighting failures in the last 2 weeks, now i may have a reef again if i can get rid of the cyano.

It loks like it is kicking back a bit. Should i siphon it all til iots gone, or will it basically just fade waway?

i cant find that species of a colt coral anywhere. Do you guys see anyone selling it online

first it was hair, i tackled that. Now its cyano

I have an icecap ballast, i guess going on about 3 years old. No warranty obviously. Today my lights didnt turn on. Hoping it was just the timer i plug them directly into the wall. They lit up for a sec and turned right back off. Is this a sign that the ballast is bad. All the bulbs are...

Should i be content right now with a PH that never reached 8.0

I cleaqn the sandbed each water change, and have been doing a lot of recent waterchanges because of the algae. Noluck

House is seven years old. Tank is in living room. I will try it

Well i am not a begineer, have had a reef for 10 years. Just never had this many problems. 90gal, 25 gallon sump Tropic Marin 1.025 Salifert (Ca, Nitrate, Nitrite, Alk, Ph) Tunze SKimmer Not saure of lb of live rock, but the tank is tacked like a normal reef. 2 in sand bed I dont want to...

i see the immediate change but it stays under 8.00 I even re calibrated to make sure it was working. DO you think i should add buffers or wait til this algae problem goes away

does it stay at that point or do you need to continue dosing?

tropic marine

My ph has been at the highest 7.93 and lowest at 7.80. Al lI dose is B-ionis, which I just started. Will this itself raise the Ph above 8 or should i do something else?

so what do you guys use to measure salinty. Could that really be a problem with my algae?

that is the finer bubbles or the bigger bubbles. I want to let more air in , right?
